OSHA takes credit for worker death decline By JUSTIN PRITCHARD, AP
SAN FRANCISCO -- The U.S. Department of Labor is citing a one-year drop in Mexican-born worker deaths as evidence that, because of its outreach efforts, a national epidemic of on-the-job fatalities among these immigrants is no longer worsening.
The head of the department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration credited federal Spanish-language outreach efforts for that 8 percent drop in 2002, which came after yearly increases in Mexican-born worker deaths that began with the 1990s economic boom.
But the good news did not extend to the overall Hispanic immigrant population the department is trying to reach. Workers in that group - which includes Central and South Americans, as well as Mexicans - continued to die in record numbers in 2002, federal data show.------------------------------------------- posted 9:07 AM :: reference link ::
